Good at what it does but not made for continuous use.

We are remodeling, I used it to cut holes in the plaster ceiling to run my duct. The great thing is that it isn't as traumatic as a sawzall and it creates very little dust. The bad thing is that it cuts slow and the blade wears out quickly. If you have a little job that you need to keep clean, this is your tool. Do not expect this to go all day long, it was built for small jobs.

I also used it to cut through a bit of trim wood that was mounted to the wall. It did a fine job, it keeps a nice straight line and very little dust. Again though, it isn't nearly as powerful as some other powertools so it will take a bit longer to cut through the material.

Overall: terrific little tool for little jobs.

I do not recommend the Craftsman Circular Saw Blade

I bought this tool less than a year ago. I am remodeling bathrooms for a living and I use this tool quite often. Unfortunately this tool is not made for real man ... After a couple weeks the battery started falling out when working over head, the battery charge lasts about 15 minutes or if you have used from full charge continuesly maybe not more than 6 or 7 minutes. The vent for the little electric motor is right where you are supposed to hold the tool, so after about 2 minutes you have blisters on the inside of your hands from the heat the motor is generating. I have to wear cloves to use this tool.

The saw blades for this tool don't cut more than maybe a door casing or drywall. Anything harder will burn the material more than it will cut it. I tried to cut my new wood floors (not the boards, but small cuts to fit around door frames) and the blade was burned out pretty much after 3 or for cuts.

Overall this tool is made for a 5 year old not for a man of the trade. Don't waste your money, I already wasted mine.

This is a perfect fit for my Craftsman Multi-Tool. I needed to replace the one I wore out on a recent project. It cuts great without any binding. I was cutting a combination of wood and old latex caulk. The sale price of this was less than that of generic blades.

These blade are very useful in a variety of applications. The only drawback is that the teeth wear down a little faster than I hoped. They aren't terribly expensive so, it is more of the inconvenience of having to order more. I recommend ordering more than you think you will ever need to keep on hand.

I love my multi-tool machine and I always need additional blades, I turned some kitchen cabinets into lovely kids "cubes" The blades last a long time and are the perfect size as it's my little multi tool.
Sears prices are very good too!

I own a Fein Multimaster and decided to try some replacement Craftsman accessories to see how they worked on the Fein. First thing, and important, was that it did fit on the Fein and performed very well and I would say just as good as the original Fein of the same shape and size as this product. This blade was close to half the price of the OEM from Fein and I would have to say that is nice to find and cheaper alternative that indeed works well.

Works as it should. I like the way it cuts wood and vinyl siding. The Multi-Tool with this and other blades saved me all kinds of time while rebuilding a porch and having to fit the porch into the old siding areas.
